- Employed high school students spent about 48 fewer minutes per day engaged in educational
activities than high school students who were not employed. Employed high school students

were not employed. However, employed high school students spent more time doing religious, spiritual,
and volunteer activities. (These data are averages for 2003 to 2007).

day (3.0 hours) than on an average weekday (2.4 hours).
